فِي امْرَأَةٍ تُوُفِّيَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُدْخَلَ بِهَا مَا لَهَا مِنَ الْمَهْرِ وَ كَيْفَ مِيرَاثُهَا فَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَ قَدْ فَرَضَ لَهَا صَدَاقاً فَلَهَا نِصْفُ الْمَهْرِ وَ هُوَ يَرِثُهَا وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَرَضَ لَهَا صَدَاقاً فَلَا صَدَاقَ لَهَا وَ قَالَ فِي رَجُلٍ تُوُفِّيَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِامْرَأَتِهِ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ فَرَضَ لَهَا مَهْراً فَلَهَا نِصْفُ الْمَهْرِ وَ هِيَ تَرِثُهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَرَضَ لَهَا مَهْراً فَلَا مَهْرَ لَهَا .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al Washa, from Aban, from Ibn Abu Yafour, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said regarding a wife who died before she had been slept with, what is for her from the dower, and how is her inheritance to be? So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If the dower had been obligated for her, so for her is half the dower, and he would inherit her; and if a dower was not obligated for her, so there is no dower for her’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said regarding a man who died before he had slept with his wife. He<sup>asws</sup> said; ‘If a dower had been obligated for her, so for her is half, and she would inherit him; and if a dower had not been obligated for her, so there is no dower for her’.
